The best time-lapse video you’ll ever see?

Victoria B.C.-based photographer Reid Gower is gobbling up the Internet today with his time-lapse video shot in locations all over the world. It starts out with some serene nature shots, and then it gets crazy.

He writes on Vimeo: “Humans are part of the natural order. We’re risen apes that acquired language and learned to use tools. Skyscrapers and spacecraft may seem unnatural, but they’re just as much a part of the natural order as beaver dams and bird nests. Boring electrical lines hint at the energy solution of a mammalian species. Open your eyes to the world you’ve grown accustomed to, and rejoice in the fact that you can participate in the human project.”
